with the other guests. The procession then
countermarched through Market street to Me-

lighted. Thousands of people witnessed the
procession from the sidewalks and houses on
the route, and all were loud in their praise for
the fine appearance that the boys made. A dis
play OF fireworks was given at A. L. Cotton's
store, foot OF Pearl street, as the line filed by
and W. +. Smith, the Market street druggist
made an excellent illumination with colored fire
during the march through that thoroughfare.
AS soon as the boys were seated in the hall Can't

to, and during the 30 minutes that followed the
baked beans, with fixings, were done Justice to.
After the appetites of all were satisfied, pipes
and tobacco from J. N. Pike s were passed around,
and then everybody was ready for the fun
Comrade Harry Hinckley, of Chelsea, being
obliged to leave early, on being called thanked
Lynn Camp for the invitation he had received
to be present, and gave the members encourag-
ing words, which were received with loud ap-
pause. The next gentleman to be introduced
was Mayor Hart. who is a member of the Ad-
yisory Board. This gentleman was received
with applause. He compared the young men
of to-day with those of the years previous to
the breaking out of that terrible war, and re-
ferred to the hard times and sufferings Of their
fathers during its progress, and closed by saying
" know you have the same loyalty and know
you will be among the first to respond should
your country call for assistance" Col. J. III.
Hinekley. of Beverly, spoke in very interest
ing words and complimented the squad of police
for their fine appearance at the head of the line
during the parade. A selection was finely rem
dered by the American Drum Corps; c. Yeaton
gave "Snyder's Idea of Sheridan's Ride" and a
comic song in manner which brought down
the house. Serg't Smith, Of Co. ID, Lynn Light
Infantry, an invited guest made some pleasing
remarks; the West Lynn Quartet gave several
ine selections. The Excelsior Drum Corps was
called upon, and played well, winning an en-
core. Mastering Officer ID. Il. Purbeck recited
Jim Wolf and the Cats" which was received
with applause, and the Carney Quartet, of
Camp 50, colored, of Boston, sang several jubi-
lee songs with fine effect. Quartermaster Wal
lace, of the Massachusetts Division Capt Stone
of Chelsea, and Willard Howland, also of Chel-
sea, were called upon, and responded with
interesting remarks. Capt. White of Marble
head, also made a few remarks. Comrade
Fuller, of Post 8. GAR, on being called, said:
" was mustered into Camp week ago. The
Sons Of Veterans. with the exception Of the
Grand Army, is one of the best organizations in
the world. The Grand Army is founded on
fraternity, loyalty and charity. The work of
the Grand Army must fall to the Sons of Vet
erans; the boys must decorate the graves of old
soldiers, and do work in that line. There is
not an organization that does not have its ups
and downs, and Camp 1, Of Lynn, will come TO
the top" Messrs. Wilson, Moore and Curry, of
the Advisory Board, made remarks, and the
latter. in n neat way, presented Mayor Hart, in
behalf of the Camp-with a beautiful wedding
cake, which had occupied a conspicuous place
on thetable during the evening. The Mayor
received it in fitting words, saying that she
should never sue for divorce" 1t being mid
night, and as many of the visitors had to re-
turn home, the Campfire was extinguished by
singing "AUld Lang Syne." The affair, which
was the largest ever undertaken by Camp 1,
was grand success throughout and reflects
great credit on Captain Mott and his men. The
membership of the Camp is increasing every
meeting night and it will not be long before
Camp will be as large, if not larger. than any
other Camp in the United States The Camp
fire Committee of Arrangements were: Capt l..
III. Mott Chairman, First Lieut.. c. E. Stone
Secretary, Second Lieut.. F. j. Peabody, Serg't
George B. McDavitt and Private w. H. Moore.
